Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake is for lovers of pure pressed Virginias. Created in the heart of Lakeland, the hot-pressed blended Virginias take on a delicious and distinctive dark color that creates a pipe smokers dream.

An all time favorite and a classic VA flake. The highest grade Golden Virginias are aged to perfection then pressed and sliced to deliver a naturally sweet flavor. Mellow and cool burning. The blender site claims there is a touch of Perique in this blend, but you really cant taste it.

This is a style of English Virginia that has seldom been seen in America. A sweet, exceptionally soft, fully rubbed-out Matured Cake. 5100 is a wonderful blending tobacco as well as a fine, medium-bodied straight smoke.

First class Virginias and a touch of Cavendish make up these delightful slices. Sweet and spicy top flavor, medium strength. Only available in bulk, generally.

Dunhill

Flake (new label)

Medium strength flake of selected grades of Lemon and Bronze Virginias. One of Dunhills most expert blends of highest quality. New label due to idiot laws banning the word light in connection with tobacco. Formerly called Light Flake.

This is a stronger, sharp aged red Virginia blend that will perk you up quickly. Always ranked near the top for fantastic Virginias to smoke now and save some for the cellar. Rumor has it this blend contains a touch of Perique, which might explain the sharp edge.

Rattray

Marlin Flake

A companion to Old Gowrie containing Flue Cured Virginias. A shade darker, greater strength, different aroma, but otherwise a tobacco in the same tradition.

Its rich on the palate, evolving in layers with the clean, natural sweetness of pure tobaccos. It offers a pleasant room note, and a delightful finish. For those seeking the pure Virginia experience, try Union Square.

Old Gowrie

Old Gowrie is a Virginia tobacco prepared in the old-time manner as a broken flake or rubbed out for those who favor a finer cut. Its essential charm is its coolness and tranquilizing properties which has led it to find its way all over the world.

This is made with Eastern and Middle Belt lemon, orange and orange-red Virginias. A sweet, smooth zesty smoke, it is suggested to anyone looking for a light-bodied, naturally sweet satisfying Virginia.

An unusual form of Flake tobacco, its deep chesnut color results from the extended aging of full flavored Old and Middle Belt leaf very lightly seasoned with Drama.

Dark Birdseye

Manufactured from Dark tobacco whole leaf rather than strips, the mid-rib (or stem) gives the birds eye effect when cut. A strong smoke which was particularly favored by the fishermen as the finer cut meant the tobacco was easier to keep lit.

With 54% flue-cured Virginias from Brazil, Zimbabwe and Malawi and 31% dark fired leaf, this is a fairly strong smoke. There is also some sweeter sun cured leaf from Malawi and rich cigar type notes.

McClelland

Bulk No.2035 Dark Navy Flake

Dark Navy Flake is unique in that it begins as a blend of very light lemon Virginias, leaf and cutter grade tobaccos which are transformed through pressure, aging and light stoving into a beautifully dark, pungent cake. It is sweet and rich without being as strong or stout in body as dark flakes have traditionally been.

McClelland

Stave-Aged 35

McClelland decided to celebrate their 35th anniversary with an American classic, bourbon. But instead of aging tobacco in the barrel, they aged the barrel in the tobacco. There is a piece of a charred Kentucky Bourbon white oak barrel in each tin imparting its subtle, long-aged whiskey aroma and flavor and soft, mellow character.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co.

Brown Bogie

Also known as Happy Bogie. This is a dark fired and dark air cured Twist. It is a bit stronger than the black twist and is made to slice into coins for smoking, or small plugs for chewing.

Rare Virginias are spun into twist then sliced to the size of small coins. Each disk is a complete blend. Costly to produce, this spun cut can be smoked for its slow burning classic Virginia flavor or mixed into a favorite blend for a change of pace.

Virginias, Virginias, Virginias! Several grades of wonderful flue-cured leaf, from soft yellow to deep red, are combined with just a touch of dark-fired Kentucky for a little added richness. A special process, recovered from ancient archives, provides the finishing touch to this wonderful blend. Naturally sweet, and possessing subtle complexity, Montgomery presents delightful new dimensions for the lover of sophisticated Virginia blends.

Whoever knows Samuel Gawith knows their famous Kendal Plug. The tobacco has a naturally sweet smell, and when burning it produces a very pleasant aroma. The taste tends to be sweetish, particularly at the beginning, and then slowly the sweetness gives some way to a whole range of taste variations, all very pleasant. It burns so slowly and evenly. A very satisfying smoke.

A balanced of Eastern and Middlebelt Virginias aged in cakes to develop their natural sweetness. A zesty tobacco with rich undertones, coarse enough to smoke on windy days outdoors, but easily rubbed-out to suit any occasion.

Dark flake tobacco is cut into bars from cake. A very strong, but very cool smoke is the result of combining in equal proportions only Malawi Dark Fired Leaf and Indian dark air-cured leaf. No additional flavours. You can smell in this tobacco the Smokey flavour of the dark fired leaf derived from its curing process of being hung above smoky fires, and the sweeter, yet still strong cigar type flavour of the dark-air-cured Indian leaf.

Russ Ouellette
